    • LIVE@WEB.COM Using CBIR Technology in InteractiveWeb-TV 

      Morsdorf, Felix; Volmer, Stephan (The Eurographics Association, 2001)
      The increasing amount of internet based television broadcasts has lead to new approachs to interactivity in TV programs. We developed a system which is able to supply the viewer of the program upon interaction with information ...

    • Mixing Images and Sketches for Retrieving Vector Drawings 

      Ferreira, A.; Fonseca, M. J.; Jorge, Joaquim A.; Ramalho, M. (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      Current approaches to content-based retrieval of multimedia data usually rely either on query by example or on sketches of the desired image, but not on both. In this paper, we propose a new query specification scheme, ...

    • A New Approach to Multimedia Information Filtering Based on its Structure 

      Huang, Xiaodi; Yong, Jianming (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      In information filtering systems, the multimedia documents are sequentially presented to users based on the user relevance values. This paper argues that the presented multimedia documents should be both important and ...

    • A New Fingerprint Image Segmentation Algorithm Based on ROIO 

      Shi, Zhongchao; Xu, Ke; Wang, Yangsheng (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      We present a new fast and effective method of fingerprint image segmentation, which is different from traditio-nal methods that usually use some certain features to segment diversified images. Based on the region of ...

    • Non-Conventional Interfaces using Stamp Controllers 

      Mallinder, Hugh; Jones, Huw (The Eurographics Association, 2001)
      Artists continue to search for new methods of creation of artworks. The trend to interactive multimedia installation work requires systems that allow participants to interact in subtle ways. The paper describes a number ...

    • A Novel Quadtree-Structured Scheme for Transmitting Chinese Calligraphy Progressively 

      Chang, Chin-Chen; Li, Chien-Fa; Lin, Iuon-Chang (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      Progressive image transmission (PIT) techniques are useful in Web applications. A user can get a rough preview of an image and decide if the entire detail of a picture needs to be transmitted, especially when the network ...

    • Optimum Detection of MultiplicativeWatermarks for Digital Images in the DWT Domain 

      Sun, Zhongwei; Feng, Dengguo; Xue, Rui (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      Watermark detection plays a crucial role in digital watermarking. It has traditionally been tackled using correla-tion-based techniques. However, the correlation-based detection is not the optimum choice when the host media ...

    • Progressive Image Transmission Using Singular Value Decomposition 

      Chang, Chin-Chen; Liu, Yi-Long (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      There are many progressive image transmission schemes using vector quantization-related schemes, but there are some problems associated with them. First, these schemes need to train a codebook, and this codebook will ...

    • Realising Real Time Multimedia Groupware on the Web 

      Allison, Colin; Bateman, Martin; Ruddle, Alan (The Eurographics Association, 2001)
      Real-time audio and video conferencing has not yet been satisfactorily integrated into web-based groupware environments. Conferencing tools are at best only loosely linked to other parts of a shared working environment. ...

    • Remote Raster Image Browsing Based on Fast Content Reduction forMobile Environments 

      Rosenbaum, René; Schumann, Heidrun (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      Enhanced browsing techniques for digital imagery and small displays facilitate the exploration process of large images often by using new ways to represent the image. Reduction of image content is such an approach mostly ...

    • Reusing Motions and Models in Animations 

      Huang, Akanksha Z.; Prabhakaran, B.; Ruiz, C. R.; Jr., (The Eurographics Association, 2001)
      Computer animated 3D models have been increasingly used in multimedia presentations because they can be viewed and manipulated directly in 3D. In this paper, we propose a database approach for this problem. Our main objective ...

    • Screen Space: Depiction and the Space of Interactive Media 

      Davis, Stephen Boyd; Jones, Huw (The Eurographics Association, 2001)
      The spatial properties of digital interactive multimedia are analysed and contrasted with those of pictures, and of narrative feature films and factual television. These media have developed distinctive spatial methods and ...

    • A Segmentation Algorithmfor Jacquard Images Based on Mumford-ShahModel 

      Feng, Z. L.; Yin, J. W.; Chen, G.; Liu, Yang; Dong, J. X. (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      Automatic pattern segmentation of jacquard images is a challenging task due to the complexity of the images. Active contour models have become popular for finding the contours of a pattern with a complex shape. However, ...

    • Self-Organizing Multimedia and Extremely Distributed Architectures 

      Butera, William; Bove, V. Michael; Jr., (The Eurographics Association, 2001)
      The Object-Based Media Group at the MIT Media Laboratory is developing robust, self-organizing programming models for dense ensembles of ultra-miniaturized computing nodes which are deployed by the thousands in bulk fashion, ...
